Airports are essential to our national infrastructure. They boast a national economic impact of $1.4 trillion, and contribute roughly 7 percent of the U.S. GDP.

I recall that the last 2 years have been spent under the unified control of Republicans--both Houses of Congress and the President--yet there was no emergency to construct the $5 billion down payment on a border wall that is going to cost…

I am proud to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished majority leader of this House of Representatives.

I am glad that the other side acknowledges that the people approaching our southern border are not men from Mexico, but they are families with children fleeing violence in Central America. That is an important distinction. Mr. Speaker, I…

We have heard a lot of cries from the administration about there being a problem on the southern border with caravans loaded with people being human trafficked, and this is just simply unsubstantiated and unfounded. There are no reports…

The American people should know that there are not any statutes that would allow a President to declare an emergency to build a border wall, not one piece of legislation would allow that. Previous Presidents have declared emergencies, but…

Today, I rise in support of H.R. 494, the Tiffany Joslyn Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program Reauthorization Act of 2019. We cannot, as a nation, continue to condemn our children into the criminal justice system. African American…

May I inquire as to how many additional speakers my friend from Georgia foresees?

In closing, I want to acknowledge the leadership and commitment of my colleagues, Jim Langevin of Rhode Island and Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania, for working together on a bipartisan bill to fashion this bill. I support H.R. 439 even more…

Liberia and Liberian Americans have no greater friend, I would say, than our good friend, Dan Donovan.

It is important that the United States send a clear signal to the Iraqi people and regional actors that what happens in Iraq matters to the United States.

I urge all members to join me in voting for this measure.

President Maduro has turned the country into a full-fledged dictatorship and victimized his citizens.

This measure represents a strong bipartisan message from Congress and I urge all members to support it.

I am again asking that my colleagues support this very commonsense bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
